Drive Soundtrack Tracklist

September 17, 2011

Ryan Gosling’s run starring in films with impressive soundtracks continues this weekend as his latest flick, director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, hits screens — complete with an original score by Cliff Martinez that was inspired by ’80s-style, synth-pop. In addition to crafting his own compositions, Martinez built the film’s sonic landscape from ideas pioneered by European electronic bands, such as Kraftwerk. Other songs in the set — which were recorded and arranged with a similar retro edge — include “Nightcall” by Kavinsky and Lovefoxxx of Brazilian dance-rock outfit CSS, a tune by the Chromatics, and others. Check out the full tracklist and audio samples from one of this year’s best soundtracks below:
